Purple, Ribbon and Bling

Now this was a nice quick and easy card to make! I made it for the current Lexi's Creations challenge which is:

Purple, Ribbon and Bling

I was so pleased to have won the last challenge and I'm hoping that lightening strikes twice! Thank you to the DT for choosing me!!

The backing paper was a free digi download from A Work In Progress but it has been retired and I can't remember which collection it is from either as I printed it a while ago and left it in my bits box. The ribbon, gems, flowers and button are all from my stash and I liked that the orange flower added a splash of colour!

• Backing paper: Digi free download (now retired) from A Work In Progress
• Everything else: My stash
  

Very Blingy!

The Secret Crafter Challenge this week is:

Bling

I made this card last week as a special commission for a returning customer and the brief was a Birthday Card for her Mum who has joined the Red Hat Society where they dress in purple with red hats or fascinators, and her nick name is Baroness Bling Bling! And I could add as much bling as I wanted - more the better!

The little person and accessories have been cut with Sizzix dies, the dress is made from organza, seed beads and glitter glue. The silver vellum background has been Swiss Dotted, sentiment is computer generated and all the ribbon and gems are from my stash.

I have been told that the little person looks just like the recipient, so I am pleased with my judgement!

• Dies: Sizzix and Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
• Everything else: From my stash
  

Lazy Town with Diamonds

The title was a poor attempt at a recreation of a Beatles song. Didn't really work did it?! Anyway, two recently commissioned cards for Pauline's Daughter and Granddaughter, personalised to their interests!

The detail on Joanne's card is shown as its hard to see it on the other picture - stamped with silver ink from a clear Studio G stamp.

Both my boys were particularly impressed with the Lazy Town card and wanted one!!

The little characters will be available to buy from my website in August.
